    摘要: In a LVTSCR or snapback NMOS ESD structure, low voltage protection as well as higher voltage protection is provided by introducing a floating gate that capacitively couples with the control gate of the ESD structure and programming the floating gate to have different charges on it as desired.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for a heat sink to dissipate the heat sourced by the encapsulated transistors in a SOI wafer. The apparatus includes a transistor formed in the active silicon layer of the wafer. The active surface is formed over an oxide layer and a bulk silicon layer. A heat sink is formed in the bulk silicon layer and configured to sink heat through the bulk silicon layer, to the back surface of the wafer. After the transistor is fabricated, the heat sink is formed by masking, patterning and etching the back surface of the wafer to form plugs in the bulk silicon layer. The plug extends through the thickness of the bulk layer to the oxide layer. Thereafter, the plug is filled with a thermally conductive material, such as a metal or DAG (thermally conductive paste). During operation, heat from the transistor is dissipated through the heat sink. In various embodiments of the invention, the plug hole is formed using either an anisotropic plasma or wet etch.

    摘要: The snapback characteristics of the parasitic NPN structure inside an NMOS device are used to write and store information in the device by periodically triggering the device from the high impedance state to the low impedance state using the self turn-on characteristics of the device under elevated voltage. To minimize power consumption, and thus overheating, in the “on” state, a pulsed mode operation is combined with dV/dt triggering powering the device at a constant Vdd pulse amplitude.
